This past week I have had a lot of fun learning to use SketchUp. This is a powerful, open source, 3D design program that can be used to build almost anything. I used it to build a model of my daughter’s home and property to help her create a landscape design. I’m still learning the program, but have created a pretty good model to start the landscape project. Thanks to plenty of on-line tutorials it has been a great new learning experience. Here’s what I’ve created so far.
